I engage and disingage the head twice in a short period to prevent conking in 1000 rpm, I was told by spear head it’s no harm to the machine. I’m only burning 7.5 litres on hour at that

Fuel use is more related to work done than engine revs, you might be using less per hour by putting less load on the hedge cutter depending on forward speed or type of growth.What tractor?
My mf uses about 8l a hour in 540e at 1350rpm
I could cut 3 years growth and a years growth and use the exact same amount of diesel per hour, just takes longer to cut the 3 years growth, @headcase 7616Fuel use is more related to work done than engine revs, you might be using less per hour by putting less load on the hedge cutter depending on forward speed or type of growth.
Mine would be the same about 8l a hour, heavy or light going just the quantity of work variesis that going by the meter on the tractor or the meter on the fuel tank
Both, infairness I find the massey very accurate with fuel consumptionis that going by the meter on the tractor or the meter on the fuel tank
Current hedger runs on 1000 pto at a max of 700 revs but I usually run it between 550-600 which has the tractor at 1300-1350, been on a job that had an hour and a half travel to and from it, clocked 25 hours of rotor running (it logs hrs worked) and mostly in work at 2mph on siding and 1.5mph on top work, very little reversing involved, ended up at bang on 250 litres and guessing the tractor did around 28 hrs would be 9 litres /hrWhat tractor?

Thanks,I think you mentioned that to me before and I had forgotten,no problems starting it now .Is the head valve cable or solenoid? The 5000 here was a sod starting, couldn't ease it in on the lever so put weaker springs in the detents on the valve which helped a lot. Always start the head in the vertical position makes it a bit easier on the everything.
Checked out the meter on my tractor over 2 days hedge cutting with about 3 hours road running flung in but the meter on the fuel tank was showing 184 L which is well over what the onboard confuser is showing which is in line with what I've experienced in the pastMine would be the same about 8l a hour, heavy or light going just the quantity of work varies
Meter on my 7480 is about 10%out so factor that and it's near enough to tank meters
Is the tank meter right tho..Checked out the meter on my tractor over 2 days hedge cutting with about 3 hours road running flung in but the meter on the fuel tank was showing 184 L which is well over what the onboard confuser is showing which is in line with what I've experienced in the past
35070km of road to a job 35 hours rotor running time how many litres of diesel?
Click into it at the top of it you can see the litres 266What exactly are we suppose to Ben looking at?
This an invoice?
Thanks for clarifying. That’s the back end capacity?Click into it at the top of it you can see the litres 266
Diesel usage for the hedge cutting hours above!Thanks for clarifying. That’s the back end capacity?
Ah Ok I see.Diesel usage for the hedge cutting hours above!
